About Us

The home for everything ADU

ADU Center exists to make accessory dwelling units simpler to understand and easier to build - by bringing the whole process together in one place.

Accessory dwelling units can change how a property works - adding room for family, a place to host guests, a home office, or long-term rental income. But the path from idea to finished unit involves design, engineering, permits, and construction, and that is a lot to coordinate alone.

ADU Center brings it all under one roof. We are a full-service hub focused entirely on accessory dwelling units, from detached backyard homes and two-story builds to garage conversions and junior ADUs. Instead of leaving homeowners to piece the process together, we help you understand your options and connect you with the right professionals for the job.

We are not a contractor. ADU Center is an independent marketing and referral platform that connects homeowners with a network of vetted, independent local professionals. Those pros handle the design, permitting, and construction, while we focus on being a clear, knowledgeable starting point for the whole journey.
